The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $875 million – the second-largest prize this year and one of the largest in the game’s history.
The estimated prize increased after no one claimed the jackpot in Saturday night’s drawing, according to a notice on the Powerball website. The winning numbers with Powerball 7 were 13, 14, 26, 28, 44.
The next drawing is scheduled for Monday, December 8.
The jackpot is the game’s biggest prize this year, following the massive $1.787 billion jackpot won in September, which was split between two tickets in Missouri and Texas.
Overall, it is the seventh-largest jackpot in the history of the game, according to Powerball.
According to Powerball, the odds of winning are more than 1 in 292 million.
Winners will have a choice between a lump sum cash payment of $403.6 million or an annual prize awarded in the form of annual payments. Both amounts are before taxes.
To play, customers must purchase a $2 Powerball ticket and select five white numbers between 1 and 69 and one red number between 1 and 26 for the Powerball. The prize increases until it is won by a player with a matching red Powerball with the corresponding five white numbers in any order.
